"On the Side Effects of Sodium Tripolyphosphate"

Sodium tripolyphosphate is widely used in many fields of industry and daily use. However, it also has some side effects, which cannot be ignored.

At the end of the environment, sodium tripolyphosphate contains phosphorus. If it flows into the water body in large quantities, it can cause eutrophication of the water body. Aquatic plants such as algae multiply excessively due to the nourishment of phosphorus, covering the water surface, causing hypoxia and death of underwater organisms. The ecological balance of the water body is broken, the water quality deteriorates, and the stench and discoloration affect the surrounding ecology and residents' lives.

As far as human health is concerned, if sodium tripolyphosphate is ingested carelessly. A small amount may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting or diar Long-term, large-scale exposure or intake, or affect the human body's absorption of important minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Because it will combine with calcium and magnesium ions, the amount of calcium and magnesium available to the human body will be reduced, in children, or affect bone development; in adults, or increase the risk of osteoporosis. And skin contact with high-concentration sodium tripolyphosphate solution may cause skin irritation, redness, itching, and sensitive skin. Eye contact can cause eye tingling, redness and swelling, and damage to eye tissue.

From the perspective of view, although sodium tripolyphosphate has its uses in production and life, its side effects should be taken seriously, used rationally, and supervision should be strengthened to reduce its harm to the environment and human body, so as to achieve a harmonious coexistence between people and nature.
